FAQ's

Things you might be interested in - or never knew you might need trapped between two ears.

Do you use Genetically Modified or GMO Ingredients in your products?

GMO = NO!

The Tofurky Company has been a long time opponent of the use of genetically engineered foods (aka “foods produced using biotechnology.) We vigorously source certified non-genetically engineered ingredients from all of our suppliers. Everyone deserves to know what’s in their food. We only use non-GMO ingredients, period.

Are Tofurky products organic?

We source only organic and domestically grown soy beans for our entire product range. Some of our products are 100% organic. Read on for a list.

Our Soy and give grain tempeh cakes are USDA certified organic. We use other organic ingredients wherever supply and costs make it feasible. Our manufacturing facility in Hood River, OR is certified by Oregon Tilth as an organic food processor.

What is tempeh and should it have black spots?

Tempeh is a fermented soy product, inoculated with Rhizophus oligosprorus, which is the species of mold used to ferment tempeh and bind the beans together. After we inoculate and incubate the beans, we steam the tempeh before we package, refrigerate and ship our tempeh. Tempeh’s fermentation process and its retention of the whole bean give it a higher protein content, dietary fiber and vitamins compared to tofu, as well as firmer texture and stronger flavor. Because of its nutritional value, tempeh is used worldwide in vegetarian cuisine.
